Child's grave desecrated for fourth time

Rae Wilson

Grieving Laidley parents Andrew and Kat Plint are already deal with trolls attacking them through the internet on a weekly basis, but now they are outraged their daughter's grave has been desecrated this week for the fourth time for no reason.

They do not have a plaque on the headstone, which has a blank sandstone marker with a "purple rainbow" through it, because people with issues against the foundation set up in Hannah's name have already targeted her final resting place three times previously.

But Katherine Plint said this attack was random, resulting in more than 100 chips and scratches to the smooth sandstone, broken solar lights and missing mementos.

She said a stone mason suggested it might be cheaper to replace than repair.

Hannah was almost three when she died in her backyard pool five years ago.
